LITERATURE. THE INSPECTOR AND LITERARY REVIEW.—Lou. don, 1826. This is an amusing little periodical, built up (to use an architectural phrase) after the model of the " Magnet," with a new dashing portico, or title 'page a noble entrance door, or leading article on Weber, and a set of light rooms, or papers ; all which give the work, in this age of show and assumption,' a goodly external and internal appearance. Among its better contributions we are tempted to notice an article, en., titled " Gems of Poetry,' which professes to give the most striking aphoristic and poetic remarks of our living minstrels which might otherwise, from their terSe ness or modesty, be, overlooked. The idea is happy, as much so indeed as the subject, who is no less than our first philosophic poet Wordsworth.;. a writer who has stamped the age, in its mere imaginative proper ties, with a spirit peculiarly his own. It is late:in the day to discuss thii author's mind (the most ori ginal, with the eXceptiOn Of Burns, of any since the times of Shakspeare), hut thus much we may say, . that most of ou r p o p u l ar m i ns t re l s , By rq n, Shelley, Hunt, Southey, Wilson, and Watts,,, have drawn . largely , from his in s pi re d p ages .. Byron especially .has impregnited his third Canto of Childe Harold throUghOut with the spirit of Wordsworth, that spirit which was the first to throw over inanimate nature a life, a character, a freshness, that • Pope and his arti ficial school of imitators had done their best to explode. Would any one but a poet of the first order have composed the, following " Sonnet'on West minster Bridge," in which the most common place objects are invested with a romance' and sentiment, as striking as the homely but poetic lenguage in which they are robed ? The " Inspector" has shown great taste in its selection. " Earth has not any thing to spew more fair : Dull would he be of soul, who could poor by A sight so touching, in its majesty : This city now 'loth like a garment Wear The beauty of the wonting ;" silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky, All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour valley, rock, or hill; Ne'er. saw I, never felt, a calm so deep ! The river glideth at his own sweet will ; Dear God ! the very houses seem asleep, And all that mightylteart is lying still!" The observant reader will not fail to remark the in- tense feeling of the last line, in which London, a mere inanimate object to an ordinary spectator, is invested with life and spirit, and compared to " the mighty heart" of soma superior being, whose energies when awake are calculated to awe the world, but who now lies sleeping in all the motionless grantlar of re pose. To say that London, at four o'clock in the Morning, is a magnificent speCtacle, is nothing ; every one says it, and every one would describe it as such ; but to make it a sentient being, anti thus convey to the tnind a striking sense of the very .sublimity and helplessneSs of its repose ; this was left for the imagina tion ofWordswdtth. The next paper, entitled " My First Appearance in the Metropolis," is pretty but puerile : who .cares for the opinions of a boy on such a subject? we want the strong masenline thought that in a su perior mind would be drawn forth on such an occa sion, not the luxuriant nottingnesses of childhood. " A visit to the parsonage," is a good, but by no means uncommon Magazine article ; it is far too showy and splendid in its style, and wants character ; it might, indeed, be just as aptly called " a Visit to the. Sun Newspaper office ;" the. Editor of which Journal, as flu. as we can see to the. contrary, is es fit a subject for inspiring sentiment, (particularly when the anxious nature of his voc a tion is considered) as even the Parson himself. The following remark, how ever, is pleasing:---" I confess my fondness for the sounds of the village , church bells : their simplicity has a romantic and imaginative soothingness, which steals over the awakened spirit, raising and depressing it with exquisite sensations." This is true ; and for this especial reason, that the village bells are linked inti mately with the most impressive incidents of life. They are the same melodious monitors who announced our birth; rang a merry peal at our marriage; and will, when our idle dream of life is ended, ring out a dirge over out grave. Moreover, they are in every sense the correctest parish newspaper ; does a great man make his appearance in the village ? the Editor of the village bells is the first to announce the fact ; and should a birth, death , or marriage take plac e within any reasonable circumference, even th e Gentleman s Magazine itself is less scrupulo us in recording the accident. But to return : the article, entitled " On the degraded State of the Drama" is the next that merits, consideration. I n thi s Essay— the evident production of a youn g h an d— t h e aut h or attributes the stage's degradation to the present rage 'for splendour and pantomime. This is literally true but is it not the fault of the Managers who thus mis lead the public ? It is their province to cater for us ; not we for them ; and if we can get nothing but fo • reign kick-shaws, hi lieu of substantial English viands, the blame attaches to those only whe thus tastelessly provid e f or us . It i s , however, a gen era l op i n i on t h at the public have lost all relish for the drama; and the Quarterly Review which, like the Times Newspaper, always follows in the wake it Popular opini o n wi th o ut , once attempti ng to direct t ; took up this notion by asserting broadly th a t were the greatest p oss ibl e dra matic genius t o ar ise, be would i nevita bl y f a il. A little thought will serve to show the utter fallacy of this opinion, for so far from discouraging the drama, the public are more than ever prepossessed in its favour. Look, for instance, at our literature a , • few 'ears back its ch aracter was entirely descriptive, and it is now as entirely dramatic. Compare ourslar P living novelists with Fielding, S alo u m, th e h on, and then judge whether the prejudice hi favour of stage ' interest is extinct. No author, at least, in the walls of fiction or fancy, whether in prose or verse ! succeeds now-a-days, unless he has what is called a knowledge of theatric effect; witness Wilson's City of the ,Plague, Byron's heroes, all essentially dramatic in themselves ; Scott's magnificent novels—and Banim's promising " Tales of the O'Hara Family." All these can make, and some have' Made, very popular dramas ; but who, with the utmost stretch of ability, could ever convert such intractable novels as Tom. Jones,Clarissa Har lowe, Joseph Andrews, Peregrine Pickle, or Hum idity Clinker, into any thing approximating to with in ten degrees of a drama We might as well attempt to convert Sir William Curtis into Columbine ! The reason is, that the characters and incidents in these last named publications are all told ; while now— such is the populir rage for excitement—,we require to see them acted, or at least to, deieribe themselves. Bat to go deeper into the subject, to show by unde niable proof how widely the seeds of theatric ability are scattered abroad ; let us turn to the daily columns of the newspapers—those shrewd caterers to public taste—and see how dramatically even a Police Report, or a boxing-match, is manufactured. Or let us - look to a once celebrated preacher; whose sober claims to public notoriety, consisted in his complete acquaint ance with the drama—to his appearance, similar im posing in itself; and still more to his discourses ; which abounded throughout with theatric turn and description, We return then, to the argument with Which we set out, namely, that if the stage be,—as it undoubtedly is—degraded ; the sole fault lies with the Managers, and not with the public, all whose prejudices are manifestly and decidedly in its favour. The next article is 'entitled A Review on Lessons of Criticism, by William Bowles, in answer to Mr. Roscoe's Stric tures, and those of the Quarterly Review, on his poetic notions.. 'the origin of this controversy is curious; many years since, Mr. Bowles, a " Sonnetteer” of no mean consideration, published an edition of Pope, in which he not only condemned his moral character, but even ventured to vituperate his poetry. This roused the ire of Gifford and his Quarterly Reviewers, who in stantly put forth an article abusing Mr. Bowles as a slanderer ; and, what to a hard must have been still more galling, as a man of no taste. While the contest was thus " adhuc sub, judice," Lord Byron entered the lists ; then followed Campbell, then followed Mr. Octavius Gilchrist ; then Hazlitt ; and lastly, a silly Irish metaphysician, who answers to the poetic appel lative of Mac Dermot; all arrayed on the same" side against the unfortunate and solitary Bowles. These adversaries, be it observed, advocated what is called the artificial, Mr. Bowles, the natural school of poetry. They asserted that art was equally as sus ceptible of a poetic dress as nature ; he said no, or at least that nature was manifestly superior. Now, the r 6 -1 fact, we think, is this : imagination, that peculiar pro perty which alone forms the poet, is as much likely to be roused by the contemplations of art as of nature; b 3 the sight of a ship sailing over the vast expanse of the ocean, as by the moveless majesty of a mountain.— Who, then, in a matter so exclusively of sentiment, shall presume to say, what is, or is not, tit for the purpose of poetry ? It is the fancy that makes all the differ ence ; anti if Mr. Wordsworth, in walking over West minster-bridge, and gazing on the houses and even ehi tn lies around him,can discern in them subjects for romantic eontemplation,while others whose imaginations ofa more limited character, can see nothing poetic except in nature, all we can say is, (and there we must drop the question) that both classes of observers may be gifted, but that Mr. Wordsworth is the most so ; because his mind is more enlarged, and consequently more poetic in its character. Before we conclude this somewhat lengthened article, we will just say a few words on the heveral merits of the work before us : these are of no ordinary merit : they want, however, the impress of individuality, and we wish to recognize them by something peculiarly their own, whether in poi nt of thinking, fancy, or in vention. With this hint, put forth in a spirit of sincere good-will, we bid the "Inspector " and its contributors, adieu, and shall be glad to say of their next number— " Ecce iterunt Crispinus."

Their victim was an Italian of the name of Bonino. The assas sination was committed in 1823, but the body of the de ceased was. not discovered till the present year. The great difficulty was to identify the person of Bonino, with the remains of a dead body which was said to be his. Only the skeleton remained, and its appearance in Court gave a most melancholy interest to the proceedings. It was eessary to look for his assassins among those who had en joyed the . closest intimacy with the deceased, Bonino had served 25 years in the Irene!' army. He had retired at the end of the war to a place called Supargites, in the de partment of the Remit. There he lived in concubine re with Margaret Carrat, one of the prisoners. When the last war broke out between Spain and France, Bonino spoke of going to drive mules during the campaign. His sudden disappearance, therefore, in May, 1823, excited no suspicion. The relatives of the assassins were the first to divulge the murder by mysterious hints. The daughter of Dimon, the male prisoner, had seen the dead body buried brother of Carrat, the on the authority of , his ai i iii a ol s Z th a in—that he had first made in l e : smth,a,erl thatprisoner,l.i father's in gardena lwas n ; 1 eh Bonino drunk, and then had killed him by a blow on the head with a spade ; that Cerra had excited Dimon to the commission of the crime, as the price of her hand; and that in fact given him, nine months afterwards, her person and fortune an the reward of his conduct. This declara tion.of Carrat was warn - led by the discovery of the skele ton; and the identity of the skeleton was provedi first by the fracture on the skull, and secondly by a sixth finger and toe, which distinguished the deceased. The shoes o f the deceased, buried beside his remains, were proved to b e t h o se of Bonino, as likewise a knife 4 Ile was Seen to is ts es so t t i t tk t e h:. i d n ay eo w n t i l o le n dlivsaitphptehaeremd.ystTerlitoeusies avowals and imprudent declaration of the prisoners, colleted the e a verdict aesveialaneltillit:lietelonlefetenThaaetfitrt77 o l crime ' t f 4 l , r; t as s h eajilii:boryeurat pronounces be converted into pity for the criminals, when, as the sentence was pro on his female ititoottnit,ceien:,resOcittnieodn by y n t f l i i t e ry ge ti n n dan •ew n l e ti s m . sel i f complice,. and would have killed her on the a l ag c 7 he nwtives of thus woman for exciting one lover to the spot were the' new passion inspired by the f l orl.r, and the jell lousy- occasioned by the threatened desertion of the letter.

SlR—The Public Press of the Metropolis having given such free and unbounded circulation to the late false and calumnious ex-parte statements, _tending to affect my cha racter, I trust I need only appeal to your justice to ensure an early insertion of the accompanying Letter in the Journal under your direction. I remain, Sir, your most obedient. Servant, JOHN WILK% Jun. New Broad-street, 7th Sept., 1826. , SIR-I am neither the slave, nor regardless of public opinion. He who is the slave, respects not himself, and be who is regardless, is unwarrantably indifferent to others. 1 have, therefore, observed neither with indifference on the one hand, or needless anxiety on the other, the proceedings of the public Press, and of some private indiv►+pals, with reference to myself, during the past month. To party feelings, peyote pique, malice, envy, and other similar sources of human action, I have attributed some of the proceedings which have occurred; to a re-action in public opinion from an inordinate attachment to a complete and unfounded abhorrence of all Joint Stock Companies, o a love of popularity and a bending to the feeling of .the lay, I also assign a portion of the proceedings which have :aken place ; and, finally; to disappointed speculators, , on ihrtunate share-brokers, and bankrupt stock jobbers, alike bankrupt in fortune, in character, and in mind, 1 trace no inconsiderable quantum of the odium which on me they have ender votwed to cast. The conductors of the public Press, destitute at this season of matter:—filling their daily columns with the ab surdities or the nothings of Police reports, or the trash of calumnious letter; writers ; have too easily, and I must add, most wickedly, lent themselves to .the gratuitous insertion ofllie most absurd and erroneous, or the most vilifying and libellous reports, statements, and mis-statements, which in genuity, directed by malice and the most unworthy mo tives, could dictate or - invent. Nor has this been all. The allegations, on one side, have been studiously and faithfully reported, but all ex. planation or contradictions, owthe other side, hive been suppressed. The libel has been received with rapture-- • inserted. without delar—and dwelt upon., without inter mission. New libels have succeeded to the former in rapid Sue- cession, and the refutations of all have been almost entirely unnoticed. By this method the country', Nis been made to participate in the feelings of the town. The Editors of the Provincial Papers, sure copyists of their respective London. Mentors, have transcribed into their colunuis the same slanders, with notes of admiration, and a few addi tional units have ! magnified what. was bad, even in the London Press, into the 'worst, and have converted tens into hundreds, and hundreds into thousands, with the greatest If, by these efforts, it has been intended to ruin my cha racter, the object will not be accomplished ; if it has been designed to degrade me in the opinion of my friends and those who knew me best, the object has failed ; if the cla morous, the vindietive,' 'the disappointed, or the partially insane, have designed either to suppress the truth, to rob me of my happiness, my comfort, or any ease, they have not succeeded,-for I yet enjoy the confidence of my friends, the affection of all whose friendship J desire, and above all, that peace of mind resulting from an honest conviction of having acted with rectitude and honour, tut a man, and a gentleman, which no unfaithful reporter, or unprincipled Mock Joblter, ran ever hope to possess. My connexion with Joint Stock Companies Was ori ginally ; but in no one with' which I have been connected have I acted otherwise, than as the moat ho nourable of men, viz. any honest, honourttble English mer chant, would approve. This. statement. lam now deter mined to demonstrate to be true, since I shall not com mence one or two, but many prosecutions as well against the authors as against the promulgators of those inven tions, both of fact and deduction, which have been of late so current. I will endeavour to teach the public press of this:country,' that private character is held too sacred by the laws which tolerate that press, to withhold from it their protection; and will show even through.thst tame,. press,, which has so diligently and tio wickedly libelled me, that the licentiousness of the press maus t and v.lll bring down . upon its conductors the punishment which should ever await the violation of public- decency and of public justice. NVith respect to the three Companies winch have been the subject of attack, no real ground for censure or ani nualversitin on me exists.—lt is the fashion now to in shilge in the most severe strictures on all Joint Stock Com panies, and the public press, therefore, more desirous of obtaining popularity than eliciting truth, in some- cases raise, and in all continue, the line and cr y . The public pres s of the metropolis also enjoy the desirable privilege of daily appearance. The libel repeated often is at length very generally believed; whilst. tee' refutation appearing but once, and, I regret, to add, in many instances : not appearing at all, is either totally or comparatively disregarded, First, As to the Cornwall and Dcvanshire Mining . I Company. 7 ,The real history of that Association is at once the most simple and the most correct.-1 purchased long before my connection with the Association, or before it was in any way established, certain mines in Cornwall, for certain sums, and afterwards that Association purchased those mines of meat such sums as the Directors and Share holders thought fair and reasonable—in which they acquiesced for nearly eighteen months--which they never Objected to, until money became scarce, and calls on the ;shares were made ;—or in plain words, until it was evinced that the Company was no bubble, but was established for the bona fide purpose of working the mines purchased, Even the Scripholders have no cause of complaint, for no ,one. paid one farthing towards the C a pit a l o f the Company until the whole prospectus of nearly thirty pages, was first: ,printed and circulated, and no fact or . Mrcintistance con mected with the concern has ever been ninde a Matter of seeresy. How worse than absurd is it to say, because I sold the mines ftir a greater sum than I purchased them for, that it is fraudulmt. If it be fraudulent, it is the fraud .f every man's transactions in life. Does the merchant fttlfrauciu. leidly, who purchases his articles of barter for a less sum Allan he sells them at P Does the Loan Contractor act ...fraudulently, who contracts for a loan at 70, and sells it p what orts I d 0 1 teaudme documents, given ts.

Does the Stock Jobber act fraudulently n f t o o rm t h e e d m the L p:c o l e ase who purchases 20,000 Consols at 76, and sells them at 801' , I have done no more than this ; nor. so much, for when I for them, and the profits I should make ; and more than, s tl o t l i d s th l e s !il ul i i i m ie i s tt l eil and information which - 1 myself possessed. The mines were so bought—have been for fifteen months workedr-=. have yielded large quantities of ore—and one of them alone, at a future day, may, in the opinion of one of - the oldest and best miners, be worth all the d be paid money agree to for the whole of the mines. But who finds fault with the purchase ? The chief person is a William Clark, of whew, to say any thing that is true, would ben libel, -since - truth is a libel—who is no Shareholder--who b ite 'never-paid any money towards the capital of the Company-7-who actually borrowed some scrip , which is forfeited and of _no avail, to appear to q ua lif y himself to-attend the meeting, bat who considers that he is fully justified in his interference by his character of being formerly a merchant's clerk, and now a itOck broker ;UPI Piti la4llll "T i ! t t reoce suffici ently .„ d uo win cons id er .nts n m it it cr e w._ in the ently amounted for, i will not decide, b , /hey di December. . months of Novem i l h , 4 - ; j o;: eish Iran a nd [Coal" Alining' Cant- St "" i d : i f i l,i b i° , . 0 I purchased the mines for the Com- PanY ' !--- a%Ohl them of course at the price which 1 paid for Com pany, “."- . f au lt .
